The Big Think: Lost in Transition: Why learning to learn is critical to prepare students for the future of work

Presenter(s): Vikki Weston

About the webinar

Join Vikki Weston, Pearson lead specialist in research and thought leadership as she explores how learning to learn will be a key skill for students to prepare to transition from education into the workforce of the future.

Vikki will explain:

  • The findings from Pearson’s recent research into the true economic cost of the transition periods between education and work
  • Why learning to learn is an ever more critical skill for students and workers in the age of generative AI
